...situated when the forces begin to act. Wherefore the Proposition, as enunciated, is true. This Principle is called The Principle of the Conservation of the Motion of the Centre of Gravity. PROP. When a material system is in motion under the action of forces, whether of finite intensify or...

...of the extension which mechanics has received from the theory of gravity. The important mechanical principle of the conservation of the motion of the centre of gravity, is also due to Newton. He haa demonstrated, in his " Prinrijiia," that the state of the centre of gravity...

...employ the general Dynamical principles. Since there is no force upon the system in the direction Ox, the principle of the conservation of the motion of the centre of gravity holds good in that direction ; .-. (m + m) dtaa = MV ; ... mdtx + m'dtx' = MV (1), because (m + m)...

...are no external forces the center of gravity will move in a straight line with uniform velocity. This is called the Principle of the Conservation of the motion of the center of gravity. die We see from equations (III) that if 2X= 0, -7- is constant, whatever 2 Y and...
